The Orphanage is so sad. I remember being so afraid of it when I was a kid because of the trailers but when I watched it, it wasn't at all what I expected. It's a very sad story.
To a horror movie lover, The Thing is perfect. To me personally, The Thing is absolutely perfect. To the average UA-cam browser watching a video about what horror movies they should watch, it is perhaps not the best choice. A lot of people can't grasp the brilliance of it, especially kids growing up with CGI effects in every damn thing they see.
@@animeguy2961 I was gonna say, Hereditary is really disturbing, but you have to watch it and pay attention in order to get it. Alot of ppl watched the movie with their friends and/or sitting on their phone and decided the movie was "boring." This isn't a movie where you can just glance up from your phone every few minutes and enjoy it.
The thing that makes "The Shining"creepier is how you watch characters do things as if you were with them. It's amazing how they don't cut off the scenes that much. Ex. Watching a man walking in a movie for 10 minutes straight
Right!? As an avid horror movie fan, besides most (but definitely not all) vampire horror, I tend to not like alot of ghost horror. But I was BLOWN away with grave encounters! I suppose it's indie-like production didn't give it much room for advertising so it wasn't ruined by oversaturated trailers. Plus, I find it a little irratating when after watching ghost movies and at the end the ghost was trying to help/warn the cast throughout the movie lol.
Scream.. Hereditary... Cabin in the woods.. Strangers.. You're next... It follows..exercist .. Devil inside.. Some of my favorites... (Wow i see mine on this list that i didnt think you would put up here)
They needed to break this list down into decades!! What's considered scary or good in one decade could look laughable in just a 10 year time period. At least this way, the films have even playing field.
I have to throw out: Event Horizon, Annihilation, and The Void. All of them are truly scary because they leave so much to our imagination and thats when we discover how terrifying our own minds.
@@karibennett5847 all 3 of those cut and dry cosmic horror, and seeing as cosmic horror is sci fi at its core, since it is rarely done in a fantasy style.
I had the Halloween theme as a ringtone. One night at work, my cell rang, and a coworker, who had never seen the movie, and did not know the theme song said to me, "I don't know why, but every time I hear that I feel like I should be running for my life!". Now that's one heck of a testimony of how scary the Halloween theme song truly is!
Haha the heridatry part where you say you be looking at the ceiling for months to come.. Sooo true I look up in the corners every time I wake up in the middle of the night.. still get chills
It was way overhyped. Especially now that horror has been there and done that, I guess beggars can't be choosers once people hear of a horror movie coming out in theaters.
It doesn't matter how many times I watch the babadook to try to understand why everyone finds it to be a perfect horror film.I just can't see it. It's an ok film but far from perfect in my opinion. 3/5
Yea I wasn’t feeling tha babadook too much build up amd the payoff just wasn’t worth it and that stupid book watched it in the dark alone and passed out right after str8 boo boo
@@youdontmatter2me it's hard for me to find a decent horror film. I look up horror movies you haven't seen yet but seen them lol they made what we do in the shadows season on Hulu and that's the last thing I've seen but it's a comedy horror but really good
Any honorable reference putting The Fly and Carrie gets my like. The two horrors that do two things perfectly for me - fascinate as entertaining with enough action and gore, music, whole atmosphere; and the tragedy volume with fantastic acting of two sweet angels gradually turning into a satan. The others here also great, adore A Nightmare On Elm Street, but Jeff Goldblum's "Brundlefly" and Sissy Spacek's "Carrie" forever linger with me.
It Follows is definitely one of the best horror movies I've seen in recent memory. Also Get Out. There are a lot of bad horror movies but the ones that are great keep me coming back to this genre.
Here's a good one I bet you've never seen...The Baby from the 70's. It's more a psychological suspense than horror but it has it's moments and an amazing ending in that it is heartwarming. I can't believe the Thing, the Exorcist, the Descent or the Blob didn't make the list. Oh and he left out Dog soldiers which is probably the best werewolf movie ever made.
I don't know if it was my being too pumped up by _really_ looking forward to seeing the only genre of horror movie that truly frightens me, ie a ghost story, but I have never, _never_ been more disappointed in a movie in my sixty-five years of life. We were promised ghosts, or at least _a_ ghost, and got zero atmospherics. In fact nothing really but a silly gross-out involving floating decomposing bodies for a pay off.
Must admit your review surprises me... But each their own. I always thought that movie took a supernatural element (often done kind of cheesy in prior American and foreign films as a whole) and sort of invented the modern supernatural horror movie. It wasn't a art house film of course, that a lot of the Italian Horror films were known for... But, visited some fears easy to understand... Your abducted child... being powerless... With some gross out scenes... I think people find the guy in the mirror or the very end the most underving... I thought it was the staircase scene where they are coming down to check everyone out. lol As far as effects, not bad for the day.. and always a lilttle nerve wracking when you realize they look like a single entity, almost like an angel, but are in fact many little souls or whatever.. that messes a bit with the psyche when I see it...
It is interesting that both It Follows and The Fly are on this list. One film is a rich and interesting allegory about the dangers(and horrors) of sexually transmitted disease. The other is It Follows.
Tom Riddle I can’t believe there are people on here going on about how terrifying it all was. Wondering if I was watching a different movie. It was complete nonsense.

That is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. Normally, jump-scare movies are dull and get annoying, but this movie.. Man oh man, I wouldn't be surprised if some people have died from watching it.
Great list. I love all these movies but you should make part 2. The Shining, Black Christmas (1974), Suspiria (1977), Tenebre, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), The Thing, Inside, Jaws should be there too
@@eleazarbatalla9821 Some people say it is but I think the remake is nowhere near that great. It has modern-day trends like forced feminism. The original is miles better but that's just my own opinion
@@irina1296 The story structure and the characters of the original are so incredibly bland. The production side of the film is incredible but it is soo far from perfect. The reimagination of the film has so much more substance to it, much better acting, a far better script in which there are actually interesting characters and it is, imo, much better directed. Both scores are absolutely amazing. I really don't know what you're on about the forced feminism. female characters in a film don't make it a forced feminist film, and i hate movies like Ocean's Eight and Ghostbusters (2016) for that reason. it is, in fact, a movie that rejects every modern trend of filmaking and it is a true masterpiece that stands above the original for me.
Dude, we could totally be friends. Tenebrae is high up on my list. Still remember renting on VHS it cut as "Unsane" and seeing The Bird with the Crystal Plumage on late night tv once, and that became my fave giallo. Didn't really enjoy the Suspiria remake though.
GRASSFED CHARLIE it wasn’t that she did wrong, it was cause she was cursed. It’s just a play off superstitions and curses really happening to someone. I really enjoyed that movie.
Before you suggest movies I think people should think about the difference between horror and suspense/thriller. I don't agree with Silence of Lambs being on the list because I don't think it's a horror.
@The Invisible Skater That was the point. The horror of hating your own child, having it instead of the partner you loved. One of the hardest psychological horrors ever.
The orphanage is one of the best modern horror masterpieces I’ve seen. It has that kind of horror that lingers with you long after the film comes to an end.
This list is bullshit, and after that i had to quit. One of best movies made, and he said that thats real horror in that. I dont know where they got this guy
@@infiniteclon2350 To a horror movie lover, The Thing is perfect. To me personally, The Thing is absolutely perfect.

A lot of people can't grasp the brilliance of it, especially kids growing up with CGI effects in ever damn thing they see.
@@infiniteclon2350 Thanks man. I truly hope one day, movie-making goes full circle and practical effects, along with The Thing, wind up in the top tier where they belong. I mean, The remake in 2011 could have been one of the greats if they didn't scrap all the effects in favor of CGI. You should google the practical effects that artists made that never got used for the remake if you're a Thing fan. . They look so sick.
A little surprised that "Let the right one in" isn't mentioned anywhere. The original version, not the English one. A truly disturbing film on so many levels but excellent at the same time.
One of my favorite films ever. But the English remake actually has a very good reputation. It isn't as good as the original , but is quite good for a remake.
The Exorcist is NOT perfect at all. Such a boring slow movie with only like two good scenes (the popular scenes everyone knows), and only those two scenes are remembered because those were the only interesting parts. Trash overrated movie. Only a soccer mom or a Catholic would find it "perfect" or "scary". The Shining movie is stupid because it doesn't make sense and it made Hallorann a wasted character.
Fun fact, the orphanage was filmed in some Spanish speaking country and was filmed in Spanish dialogue so my 8th grade Spanish teacher let us watch in class
I agree. I've seen just about every scary movie worth mentioning, but recently watched, Hereditary. I was completely locked in from start to finish. I found it excellent, scary and creepy as hell, and easily in my top horror movies of all time.
It Follows really? Heredity I don't think so. Drag Me to Hell doesn't belong on this list either. Rosemary's Baby I have to ask where is the Horror? Rosemary's baby for me was like Bored Now!
i honestly thought IT chapter one was basically perfect, i love it so much. literally my only complaint is that it relied on jumpscares more than it needed to, and emphasized the jumpscares with audio stingers, which it didn't have to do.
Silence of the lambs was a beautiful movie. Anthony Hopkins was amazing and epic. The relationship between his character and Jodie Foster was well written and a classic
I'd like to see When A Stranger Calls on a list like this. That is, the original with Carol Kane. I know there was a remake which I never saw. I don't think the story translates today but for those of us who remember life before cell phones, the film hit all the right notes.
J Toland right? Or do you remember “I saw what you did”? It had little Candace Cameron and it was prank phone calls and scary stalkers. Soooo good. But like you said, it probably wouldn’t translate well these days.
I really like the beginning of a stranger calls, I think it would have worked better as a short film as I think it goes on and the ending is a bit cliche and expected, I think it’s a great movie though !
I have seen Thinner and I don't agree that it is the equivalent to Drag Me To Hell, which was a great horror movie by the way. I LOVE horror movies and agree that it belonged on the list
Thinner was great but was straightforward as in his action lead to reactions moving the movie along. No hidden info. But DMTH had a hint of sublety about eating disorders so it was also great on its on but the two are similar with regard to the 'curse' being the main point of the movie.
There was absolutely nothing scary about this movie. While it is indeed a good one, I would classify it as a psychological thriller/drama, definitely not a horror movie..
I've always found it more interesting than I do scary. The culture clash between Sergeant Howie's devotion to Christianity and the paganism practiced by the residents of Summerisle is what really makes the film stand out.
Rikual Rose I dont know if I was too young when I first saw it, or I just wasn't intelligent enough to comprehend the film? But they had. had me as they had Howie, so the end was incredibly shocking to. a young man who was raised Catholic. Fantastic film! I may be as bold as to say its ALMOST a perfect film? Shame about the original negitive and cuts that were made.
I had to give y'all a thumbs down for spoiling tf out of Hereditary. Why say "That scene with the sketchbook..." like your trying to be vague but then straight out show a major character's death scene?
I can`t believe "It follows" gets so much praise from so many people. When I watched it I found it totally cheesy and cliche but I guess I`ll have to give it another watch.
@Michael McDermott obviously you've never been to Detroit. I could point out one very big reason to call " imperfection" and anyone from there would know what that is.
Tucker & Dale vs Evil takes the trophy for me in that regard...I agree with Cabin the woods but I was most pleasantly surprised when I saw Tucker & Dale by happenstance and didn’t realize it was a comedy at the time. “Officer, it’s been a doozy of a day...” I have to say that next time I’m pulled over...
So we're just going to forget about THE EXORCIST and THE SHINING? Oh, and Re-Animator, Cat People, Evil Dead II, Psycho, Night of the Living Dead, Cannibal Holocaust, Suspiria, Phantasm?
I wouldn’t really call cannibal holocaust scary. More of just a disturbing movie. Susperia I agree with as well as the shining. Psycho deserved a spot as well.
The Shinning? Weak, Nicholson played it for laughs. As for the rest of the main cast, Duvall was so so and the brat was simply wretched. The only passably frightening aspect were the two girls (hardly enough to carry the movie) everything else was jump scares, half-baked atmospherics and Jack's over-the-top hamming. Though I did like seeing the WPA era Timberline Lodge used for the panoramic exterior shots.
Cat People was probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Stupid concept and stupid execution. Probably the worst 40s movie ever made. The Wolf Man (1941) is a better 40s movie and better represents the horror genre than Cat people (1941) does.
The Orphanage was just unbelievably sad. I bawled while watching that one, it's heartbreaking..also - Fragile is a perfect horror movie. So is the Taking of Deborah Logan.
The Orphanage is my favourite horror film. It balances drama, creepy ambiance, constant dread, and it doesn't rely on jump scares. Many horror films end in tragedy and contain twists, but not like this one.
This!!! I hate jump scares... they do nothing for me.. I like the build up of suspense. Where you are watching but your half hiding and begging for the character's safety.
The Exorcist is over rated and not that great to be honest! I understand at the time it came out it was groundbreaking and scary, But now its dated and boring.
@@smokeyb7379 Totally get what you're saying but feel the same could be said for a few movies on this list (about being dated.) As to the Exorcist being boring, I feel that's less about the plotline of the film, and more about us as an audience, being generally more desensatized to movies with such subject matter, esp since there have been countless posesssion type movies made in the many years since.
Utter Perfection in every frame! I'm nervous for Dr. Sleep though...my standards are just set so high from Kubrick. I'd hate to try and follow that act lol
Yep, I agree with that one, I also like the 1963 "The Haunting of Hill House," which I saw at 10 years young. Stephen King knocked it out of the park with that one, and was soo fortunate to get Kubrick for the movie. I know someone who read the book, I didn't read it, but they said it was the most terrifying thing they ever read. I don't know, maybe... anyway the movie did pretty well keeping a lot of the story intact, as I understand it(?) I also like the very simplistic book and film Pet Sematary partly because it was filmed where I live - - about a mile from my house. And we had a cat killed on the road during filming too, as well. Had to bury him one night during the full moon... Seriously. I always thought the cat was killed by one of the people working on the film because they raced up and down this road some.
What's the best horror movie of all time?
Excorcist
The Thing
The Shining
Conjuring
The Conjuring 1
The Orphanage is so sad. I remember being so afraid of it when I was a kid because of the trailers but when I watched it, it wasn't at all what I expected. It's a very sad story.

It makes me cry EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have it on DVD :(
I full on ugly cried at the end of that movie

The reimagination of the film has so much more substance to it, much better acting, a far better script in which there are actually interesting characters and it is, imo, much better directed. Both scores are absolutely amazing. I really don't know what you're on about the forced feminism. female characters in a film don't make it a forced feminist film, and i hate movies like Ocean's Eight and Ghostbusters (2016) for that reason. it is, in fact, a movie that rejects every modern trend of filmaking and it is a true masterpiece that stands above the original for me.
Dude, we could totally be friends. Tenebrae is high up on my list. Still remember renting on VHS it cut as "Unsane" and seeing The Bird with the Crystal Plumage on late night tv once, and that became my fave giallo. Didn't really enjoy the Suspiria remake though.
LookInTheTunk Deep Red
Trick R Treat is another great film. Not super scary but the individual stories are great
Yessss! Such a creepy movie! 👹🧛♂️🎃
Yeppers, I watch that one every October.
agree
This , i wasent expecting it to be good
A truly underrated film. So much fun and Sam is pretty creepy.
In my entire life heridetary is the most unforgetable movie that i ever watched in cinema. 😭
The shining ,the exorcist, martyrs (french version), the babadook, hereditary, the witch, hell house and not forgetting The Boarderlands
i really wana watch it, i just need to know how scary is it, is it really that bad tho? like idk im curious af
It’s not that bad , just creepy .. you won’t be crying or anything
@@SamSam-pj9dj do its only wierd? huh ofc i dont cry lol
Yes it’s creepy .. the ending might be a bit shocking for you
I actually thought Drag Me to Hell was more comical than scary, with it being a Sam Raimi Movie I wasn't suprised
Ya its a dark comedy. Just not an awesome one like Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon.
Sam Raimy is great and i am happy that i discovered this one because of this list... will be watching it in the weekend!
TheHorrorExperiment I did not like it she got dragged to hell for doing her job??
GRASSFED CHARLIE it wasn’t that she did wrong, it was cause she was cursed. It’s just a play off superstitions and curses really happening to someone. I really enjoyed that movie.
I liked it better than The Evil Dead.
Thanks for acknowledging 'The Fly', I think it's a somewhat forgotten film from the 80's and doesn't get enough praise.
That is a gem!👍❤️
Trust me, Cronenbergs Fly isn't forgotten in the slightest.
It's disgusting
@@coreyjackson1123 it's a masterpiece
it is nowhere near forgotten...
Before you suggest movies I think people should think about the difference between horror and suspense/thriller.
I don't agree with Silence of Lambs being on the list because I don't think it's a horror.
YES
Well neither is Alien. Silence of the Lamb is horror because its truly terrifying.
Jerimiah Jamea Yeah because a movie about an insane man who eats other people for the hell of it definitely isn’t horror.
@@mrmills45 I feel the sarcasm. Lol
Jerimiah Jamea I think that if it can illicit fear, it’s a horror to that individual 🐝
I think the original 'Omen' film with Gregory Peck is near perfect. More recently though, I got to go with 'The Descent'.
The orphanage is a Spanish movie btw, just in case you wanna watch it. It’s super good tho, I recommend it.
@@notimportant3686 You cant expect much from a list that put the babapoop as a good movie tbh.
@@bamshablam5977 Well for some people it is, not everyone have the same taste with movies.
Babadook was just obnoxious. The kid made me want to rip my eyes out the whole time lol
@The Invisible Skater That was the point. The horror of hating your own child, having it instead of the partner you loved. One of the hardest psychological horrors ever.
Agreed
@@Mintylight Yes! I suspect women especially can understand the horror of this movie: resenting your whiny ass kid.
Mintylight exactly that!
StevieCzykPN that was the point, but I also have to agree with you. A little overrated IMO but I’m a sucker for older horror movies
The Texas chainsaw massacre (1974) is perfect IMO
NU KRITIK that movie scared the crap outta me as a kid, I loved it!
It is the most disturbing movie I've ever seen. There were human teeth in a bird cage.
That movie is one of the best comedies ever made, a laugh riot.
I'm not downing the film I love it, it's just funny as hell to me.
Literally one of the only perfect slasher movies ever made
I love that movie, the cinematography is amazing!
The orphanage is one of the best modern horror masterpieces I’ve seen. It has that kind of horror that lingers with you long after the film comes to an end.
Have you seen sinister?
The Exorcist, The Thing, The Omen....to name a few. If there is a "TV movie" division, then Salem's Lot too
TV movie don't be afraid of the dark
Exorcist is trash
@@bekkaboo90 your taste in horror movies is trash
I'm comfortable watching quality flicks. Im sorry you havent seen many
@@bekkaboo90 I'll put more stock into Metacritic and my own eyes than your ramblings, thanks
Did you honestly just say Silence of the Lambs is scary because Clarice is living in a male dominated world?
This list is bullshit, and after that i had to quit. One of best movies made, and he said that thats real horror in that. I dont know where they got this guy
He did. Also he didn't put The Thing on the list.
@@infiniteclon2350 To a horror movie lover, The Thing is perfect. To me personally, The Thing is absolutely perfect. To the average UA-cam browser watching a video about what horror movies they should watch, it is perhaps not the best choice. A lot of people can't grasp the brilliance of it, especially kids growing up with CGI effects in ever damn thing they see.
@@BasedBill you got an excelent point sir. my respects.
@@infiniteclon2350 Thanks man. I truly hope one day, movie-making goes full circle and practical effects, along with The Thing, wind up in the top tier where they belong. I mean, The remake in 2011 could have been one of the greats if they didn't scrap all the effects in favor of CGI. You should google the practical effects that artists made that never got used for the remake if you're a Thing fan. . They look so sick.
A little surprised that "Let the right one in" isn't mentioned anywhere. The original version, not the English one. A truly disturbing film on so many levels but excellent at the same time.
I love the original version of that film but im not sure id call it a horror.
One of my favorite films ever. But the English remake actually has a very good reputation. It isn't as good as the original , but is quite good for a remake.
Just watched both versions. Classic.
good list but incomplete as you can't make a list of horror movies without adding shining, the thing and the exorcist
And David Lynch deserves a spot.
Maybe not the shining since Stephen king hates it
Steven Myatt well that’s just because it didn’t follow the book very much, the book was very different.
The Exorcist is NOT perfect at all. Such a boring slow movie with only like two good scenes (the popular scenes everyone knows), and only those two scenes are remembered because those were the only interesting parts. Trash overrated movie. Only a soccer mom or a Catholic would find it "perfect" or "scary".
The Shining movie is stupid because it doesn't make sense and it made Hallorann a wasted character.
@@SenorMeinKrafter you have no taste holy shit...
Fun fact, the orphanage was filmed in some Spanish speaking country and was filmed in Spanish dialogue so my 8th grade Spanish teacher let us watch in class
It was filmed in Spain in spanish language
same here!
Awesome
Pretty brutal ending though
I love your 8th grade Spanish teacher lol...Did all or most of the kids like it?
"The orphanage" is heartbreaking. One of the best, I agree.
Hereditary is by far the scariest movie I’ve ever seen, and I watch a LOT of horror movies. Not saying they’re all good 😂 just saying I watch a lot.
Definitely
I agree. I've seen just about every scary movie worth mentioning, but recently watched, Hereditary. I was completely locked in from start to finish. I found it excellent, scary and creepy as hell, and easily in my top horror movies of all time.
@@izzythomas848 Absolutely! And I would add The Babadook for those of us who are mothers... and also The Witch.
I watch a lot of them too, but the only horror movie that I found more boring than Hereditary was Rosemarys Baby.
Brian Scalabrine is the goat you are second!
The orphanage is hands down my favorite horror/scary movie!!! Its the reason I clicked on the video haha 😄
AwsomeSauce 11910 Same
That's why I clicked too amazing movie
AwsomeSauce 11910 Same here.
Inwould have burned that crazy ass women
I thought the movie was good too
It Follows really? Heredity I don't think so. Drag Me to Hell doesn't belong on this list either. Rosemary's Baby I have to ask where is the Horror? Rosemary's baby for me was like Bored Now!
i honestly thought IT chapter one was basically perfect, i love it so much. literally my only complaint is that it relied on jumpscares more than it needed to, and emphasized the jumpscares with audio stingers, which it didn't have to do.
Silence of the lambs was a beautiful movie. Anthony Hopkins was amazing and epic. The relationship between his character and Jodie Foster was well written and a classic
Arlene Tilson I totally agree & I love the movie, have it on VHS & DVD. Still, I lean more towards extreme thriller/suspense than a horror movie.
A nightmare on elm street perfect original 😉💪👍
Most Definitely
Ian Williamson yes, but was it actually scary?
@@bob-oi9hz ...........yes!
The Autopsy of Jane Doe should be on your List! Its terrifying & brilliant!
It was 1 of the few scary movies that gave me nitemares!
Agreed!!
Fantastic movie
i was surprised at how good that movie is
@@Silvio67 same. Totally expected a by the numbers horror. Very good movie.
I'd like to see When A Stranger Calls on a list like this. That is, the original with Carol Kane. I know there was a remake which I never saw. I don't think the story translates today but for those of us who remember life before cell phones, the film hit all the right notes.
J Toland right? Or do you remember “I saw what you did”? It had little Candace Cameron and it was prank phone calls and scary stalkers. Soooo good. But like you said, it probably wouldn’t translate well these days.
I love When A Stranger Calls with Camilla Belle. I haven’t seen the older one.
black Christmas did the whole phone call scare the best out of any in my opinion
I really like the beginning of a stranger calls, I think it would have worked better as a short film as I think it goes on and the ending is a bit cliche and expected, I think it’s a great movie though !
I would add The Omen (1976) to that list.
YES! A great horror film.
"Drag Me To Hell" is basically Stephen King's "Thinner" ... change my mind.
But has less handjob scenes so thinner≥ drag me to hell
facts lol
I have seen Thinner and I don't agree that it is the equivalent to Drag Me To Hell, which was a great horror movie by the way. I LOVE horror movies and agree that it belonged on the list
Thinner had better writing, DMTH totally gave it's ending away when they spilled the car floor.
Thinner was great but was straightforward as in his action lead to reactions moving the movie along. No hidden info. But DMTH had a hint of sublety about eating disorders so it was also great on its on but the two are similar with regard to the 'curse' being the main point of the movie.
Hereditary #1. Sorry, no film comes close.
There was absolutely nothing scary about this movie. While it is indeed a good one, I would classify it as a psychological thriller/drama, definitely not a horror movie..
Movie didn't do it for me. Of his films, Midsomer was better.
People need to see the French film "High Tension" for unrelenting horror.
I loved that movie
Love High Tension! So few people know about it.
Great pick. A truly outstanding movie
Was pleasantly surprised here as it was really hyped and I hated Martyrs.
And martyrs also. Best horror films ever
This is an excellent list but The Thing and The Wicker Man are missing. A truly disturbing ending to the latter film!
Sean Barron Its one of the best Films ever made PERIOD!
I've always found it more interesting than I do scary. The culture clash between Sergeant Howie's devotion to Christianity and the paganism practiced by the residents of Summerisle is what really makes the film stand out.
Rikual Rose I dont know if I was too young when I first saw it, or I just wasn't intelligent enough to comprehend the film? But they had. had me as they had Howie, so the end was incredibly shocking to. a young man who was raised Catholic. Fantastic film! I may be as bold as to say its ALMOST a perfect film? Shame about the original negitive and cuts that were made.
is that a horror movie doe
True, The Wicker Man's ending is shocking and disturbing indeed.
I had to give y'all a thumbs down for spoiling tf out of Hereditary. Why say "That scene with the sketchbook..." like your trying to be vague but then straight out show a major character's death scene?
I agree! I've seen the movie already, but that pissed me off for people that haven't!
Shut up
This movie been out for over a year now you late
I wouldn’t have known if you didn’t tell me. That could have been a dream sequence they showed for all I knew.
It follows is a great concept but the film is fairly average at best.
There I said it.
it's plain shit
Agreed
couldn't agree more
Great idea, decent movie.
Yup I liked the new evil dead better than drag me to hell too
Drag Me To Hell wasn’t that good of a movie and does not hold up well in my opinion. It should’ve been replaced with The Thing or The Descent
I love the descent!!!
I like all 3 u mentioned...I really liked drag me to hell
I just thought drag me to hell wasn't fair.
i really like the descent !!!
its surprisingly good !
ryan hadi Yeah I remember watching it because there was nothing else on and was shocked by how good it was! Too bad the sequel didn’t do any justice.
GRAVE ENCOUNTERS Watch alone late at night preferably home alone. Thank me later👹
I can`t believe "It follows" gets so much praise from so many people. When I watched it I found it totally cheesy and cliche but I guess I`ll have to give it another watch.
I watched it years ago. Didn’t know it was so highly rated but it’s pretty good
agreed! i need to rewatch it to maybe understand but i didn’t enjoy it that much
@Michael McDermott obviously you've never been to Detroit. I could point out one very big reason to call " imperfection" and anyone from there would know what that is.
It wasn't that good...
It sucked. You're not alone
Replace Drag Me to Hell with Cabin in the Woods if you want the perfect Horror Comedy
xunderscoreben .....Return of The Living Dead, is great horror comedy too
Tucker & Dale vs Evil takes the trophy for me in that regard...I agree with Cabin the woods but I was most pleasantly surprised when I saw Tucker & Dale by happenstance and didn’t realize it was a comedy at the time. “Officer, it’s been a doozy of a day...” I have to say that next time I’m pulled over...
either that one or Shawn of the Dead
DQuiLon yes that one was so funny and scary at the same time 😂
I thought this’d be 11:57 minutes of Hereditary footage 🤷🏻♀️
Lmao i know right
And I kept waiting for THE THING 🤔 no cool looper that's definitely a scary movie out of this world
It's remake, remakes aren't on the list.
@@aaronpop0083 The Fly is a remake.
@@jeremyfrost2636 I would barely consider it a remake with how incredibly different the two movies are.
@@aaronpop0083 The same could be said of The Thing.
The Blair Witch Project 1999, Cloverfield. The Thing, aaaand goodbye ✋
So we're just going to forget about THE EXORCIST and THE SHINING? Oh, and Re-Animator, Cat People, Evil Dead II, Psycho, Night of the Living Dead, Cannibal Holocaust, Suspiria, Phantasm?
There's is A difference between torture and horror
I wouldn’t really call cannibal holocaust scary. More of just a disturbing movie. Susperia I agree with as well as the shining. Psycho deserved a spot as well.
@@Vikas_Kumar_Singh They're not mutually exclusive. Torture can be horror.
The Shinning? Weak, Nicholson played it for laughs. As for the rest of the main cast, Duvall was so so and the brat was simply wretched. The only passably frightening aspect were the two girls (hardly enough to carry the movie) everything else was jump scares, half-baked atmospherics and Jack's over-the-top hamming. Though I did like seeing the WPA era Timberline Lodge used for the panoramic exterior shots.
Cat People was probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Stupid concept and stupid execution. Probably the worst 40s movie ever made. The Wolf Man (1941) is a better 40s movie and better represents the horror genre than Cat people (1941) does.
The Orphanage was just unbelievably sad. I bawled while watching that one, it's heartbreaking..also - Fragile is a perfect horror movie. So is the Taking of Deborah Logan.
Missing: The exorcist
Mama
Rec (original not english remake)
Zombie
Dawn of the dead (remake)
. ..and probably more
Exorcist is the scariest movie ever made I think
Dawn if the dead remake was an action movie. Not a horror movie.
Zombie? Lucio Fulci's Zombie?
@@jeremyfrost2636 the 70s remake of romeros original. My disc copy is called zombie.
Mama? That’s the dumbest movie ever. Ughhhhh.
So you just made a list of popular ones instead of actually analyzing the horror genre didnt you?
Yes . yes we did. 😆
I’m with Corny on this!
Yup.. you ain't lying
All these channels that just churn out videos do it for "content" not "quality analysis."
Not only popular, but (mostly) recent.
silence of the lambs isn’t really a horror movie in my book :/ it’s far more of a psychological thriller than a scary movie.
“Carrie” has such a rad ending.. Totally comic book like. Loved it!
John Carpenter's The Thing. Any "best of" horror film list without this film is worthless.
Yep. That movie scared the overloving shit out of me when I first saw it. The dog scene, mmm good stuff.
It's remake. Remakes aren't in the list.
Agree, should be in top 3
100% agree.
Exactly!
Hereditary damn that movie 🎦 was crazy 👀 but Alien 👽 is Awesome. Anthony Hopkins Is one of the greatest actor of all time
Gaza NationTv what does anthony hopkings got to do with alien you shit dork
I have all those movie,s, but where is the thing
Remakes aren't on the list, that's why it's not there.
@@aaronpop0083 the fly is a remake and its on the list
The Orphanage is my favourite horror film. It balances drama, creepy ambiance, constant dread, and it doesn't rely on jump scares. Many horror films end in tragedy and contain twists, but not like this one.
This!!! I hate jump scares... they do nothing for me.. I like the build up of suspense. Where you are watching but your half hiding and begging for the character's safety.
The omission of The Exorcist makes this list completely ridiculous.
The Exorcist is over rated and not that great to be honest! I understand at the time it came out it was groundbreaking and scary, But now its dated and boring.
@@smokeyb7379 that movie is Hystory of Cinema, on multiple levels . if you don't like it , fair enough , but it's objectively a masterpiece
Maybe it was so obvious it's one of the best horror movies that they didn't even want to include it
SMOKEY B Fear is subjective, but no film has affected audiences like that one, while also garnering critical acclaim.
@@smokeyb7379 Totally get what you're saying but feel the same could be said for a few movies on this list (about being dated.) As to the Exorcist being boring, I feel that's less about the plotline of the film, and more about us as an audience, being generally more desensatized to movies with such subject matter, esp since there have been countless posesssion type movies made in the many years since.
kubrick's the shining will forever be my favorite horror movie
Utter Perfection in every frame! I'm nervous for Dr. Sleep though...my standards are just set so high from Kubrick. I'd hate to try and follow that act lol
@@frankaloi9879 It has a great director though
@@tsarnicholasii274 I'm not the biggest Mike Flanagan fan honestly. I thought he did a bang up job with Gerald's Game though. I'm holding out hope!
Kubrick's the Shining sucks...
Yep, I agree with that one, I also like the 1963 "The Haunting of Hill House," which I saw at 10 years young. Stephen King knocked it out of the park with that one, and was soo fortunate to get Kubrick for the movie. I know someone who read the book, I didn't read it, but they said it was the most terrifying thing they ever read. I don't know, maybe... anyway the movie did pretty well keeping a lot of the story intact, as I understand it(?) I also like the very simplistic book and film Pet Sematary partly because it was filmed where I live - - about a mile from my house. And we had a cat killed on the road during filming too, as well. Had to bury him one night during the full moon... Seriously. I always thought the cat was killed by one of the people working on the film because they raced up and down this road some.
The Strangers with Liv Tyler. Scary as fcuk
Yeah I loved that movie. It was scary because it could happen.
never watching hereditary ever again
Yeah its been some time since i watched it and i still think about it
Same here, however i did like midsommar, same director.
That movie gutted me. I saw it in theaters when it came out and I'm still not ready to revisit it.
Babadook was dumb to me, It Follows was genuinely creepy though
It Follows was a joke.
